Chapter 6 and 7 Readings

Chapter 6
Is talking about doing a reader centered research in order to write information that is useful and persuasive to our readers. Reader centered research is very different from the research that we do in school. When writing for school we try to learn and understand something we didn't know before, and we don't have to worry if our reader is going to understand it. What matters is that we learn something form the experience itself and we can use it in our future.
On the other hand when we write for work we do it for practical purposes. At work we write for others, we are sharing our knowledge with our coworkers and addressing the issue that are important now. The information we include in our writing has to be valuable and relevant to them. We need to avoid any information that doesn't pertain to them, and deliver it in the timely manner.

Chapter 7
Is talking about a writing style that is persuasive and usable to our readers.
In order to accomplish this chapter is giving seven guidelines.
Begin by announcing your topic, we let our readers know what we are trying to tell them, so they don't have to wonder.
Present generalization before we present details, in order to let them know what our general point is
Move from most important to least important, unless we are presenting something in chronological order
Consult other conventional resources when having organizing difficulties.
Consider your readers cultural background, to avoid misunderstandings.
Reveal your communication's organization by drawing a map of it to readers through forecasting statements, transitions, headings and visual arrangements.
Finally have a smooth flow from sentence to sentence.
